There are plenty of situations in life where a person might find themselves without cigarettes. I've been in situations where i've had no cigarettes for months and had to go without. Certain circumstances crop up and that's just how it goes. Now with cigarette bans everywhere, especially in the work place, by some miracle smokers somehow manage to get through the day. Where as before any ban they just have to have a smoke and wouldn't know what to do if they couldn't. How do people manage to deal with the existing smoking ban ?. Why aren't they lobbying for their right to smoke ?. I don't see anyone complaining about smoking bans do you !?. And i am talking about existing smokers, not people that have given up and think smoking is disgusting and "should" be banned fom public places. Until someone gives up smoking they think it's fine to smoke in enclosed spaces. People that smoke don't care that they are poluting their immediate environment. One minute they can smoke at work the next it's illegal. Tell me, How do they cope with their addiction in these circumstances ?. Seeing as they are so hopelessly addicted to nicotine. It must be some kind of miracle !.
I realised that my smoking addiction was all in my mind. To me a vaping ban is just a way to give up vaping. It would be ridiculous for me to regress back to smoking.
It seems that a lot of people that vape will almost certainly go back to smoking if vaping gets banned. That's their choice. I will choose not to !. I can take it or leave it. It's a pity others cannot do the same. So ask yourself "why do i vape ?". If your answer is "because if i didn't then i'd go back to smoking" then you haven't considered the more obvious answer. Having to give up vaping doesn't mean a person has to return to smoking. What is the worst thing that would happen if you did neither ?. Nothing will happen. Not a thing. So people are addicted to nicotine. I ask you, What would happen if they had none. Really what would actually happen ?.
I vape 4.5mg nicotine fluid all day everyday. Sometimes i'll use 3.6mg. I have no intention of cutting down or weaning myself off nicotine. I don't care if i can't get any tomorrow. I'll just go without.
I know people that are addicted to this and that. They don't eat properly or sleep properly and they don't take care of themselves properly. But as soon as they get a cold or feel a bit unwell do you know what they do ?. They blame their addiction for their ailments. They'd say "i've got a stomach ache" or they don't have the energy to do anything. I say to them "well maybe you should eat something for a change and get a good nights sleep for once". But no that isn't it. It's the addiction. There's just no talking to some people.
I actually don't think that any government department like the FDA cares less, one way or the other, about anyone that is addicted to nicotine. It's hardly a life threatening condition.
So what's so wrong about being pragmatic ?. If people don't want to smoke they will vape if it is allowed. If people want to continue smoking then they will. And if vaping is banned and someone wants to quit smoking then guess what, they'll give up smoking !. It isn't as if a single person in history never ever gave up smoking because vaping wasn't an option. And not everyone that gives up smoking starts vaping.
So if a ban is imposed that does not mean people have no choice but to smoke. That's a ridiculous assumption !.
You want my support then here it is. If you have to stop vaping because of a ban, please, don't start smoking again !.
Smoking kills !
